New to Berger Bullets and they will really have to step up to the plate to replace my Nosler Partitions or Accubonds.
Thanks for sticking to the Noslers, that will leave more Bergers for the guys who shoot them!

Every rifle us sn individual.I've shot a lot of Hornady eldx and they shoot well for me, what is everyone's go to 6.5 bullet for tiny groups? I've kicked around the sierras and eldm I know they have a few different weights but have never ventured past the eldx. Targets or game doesn't matter. Pick 1 bullet you would try first no matter what 6.5 caliber you tried because it's a forgiving projectile to work a load up with. 1/8 twist
I thought the diamond was a Molly coated bullet from the manufacturer and looking at the picture it seems to beHas any one used the 6.5 130 vld norma diamond . It's a great bullet. Been shooting it in a 6.5 creedmore, and a 6.5 grendle. Bc of 584
I shoot burger 140 VLD hunting in my 65 284 and Molly coat my bullets myself it is very cheap and very easy I use the wet method you should learn this and Molly coat them for yourself and save some moneyHas any one used the 6.5 130 vld norma diamond .

How much more powder are you using to achieve the same velocity over non Molly coated Bullets?View attachment 147647

Only on paper and chronograph, shot good getting 2935fps from a 24", 1-8 twist.Looks like a lot of good choices. A friend of mine played with a savage stealth for a long time and was never satisfied. He tried the 140 Berger in front of h4350 and it was 1 hole groups. Very impressed with his ease of finding a good load with that bullet. Out of curiosity has anyone played with the 130 Sierra gamechanger and if so what we're the results
For the question about 130 grain Sierra Gamechangers for 6.5, see below from a Seekins Havak PH1... .125" in one of my first 2 handloads. The other was .375" which is also not too shabby. Very impressed with this bullet on paper. I'm hoping it could be an antelope/mule deer/elk bullet all in one. I'm running between 5/8" and 3/4" with ELD-X handloads for 5 shot groups.
I'd love to hear if a .257 TGK is on the way. My 25-06 loves the 100 Gr Gameking.
